I know this is a depressing subject but i have been reading a lot about it recently in pregnancy magazines (and watching too much hollyoaks!). I know it is safer to lay baby on back when sleeping but i am worried that my house is very warm and stuffy - i.e. when my partner and i wake up in the morning we are always bunged up and have a v dry mouth - i have tried leaving a window open and also putting water over the radiators (in winter) but nothing seems to do the trick. Does anyone know of a solution? I know i am probably worrying about nothing but it would put my mind at rest if someone could say im not mad!!

i think it is natural to be worried Zoe, the more I read about it the more worried I am....but lets hope for the best and when u take all the precautions .....it should put ur mind to rest a wee bit.....

i THINK THE SENSOR PADS ARE A GREAT IDEA AND GREAT PEACE OF MIND.
ive got one.
Zoe have you got a dehumidifier(spelling?).
That might help.
As long as you follow the guidelines and a sensor mat, you are doing everything possible to prevent a cot death.
My mum lost my brother at 7 months, my lo is coming up to 7 months.
I really worry especially when its hot. Ive got my pad and following guidelines.
Sadly some cot deaths are a medical condition which can be genetic which for me is a worry.
Try not to worry to much as cot deaths are not very common.
take care

you don't still have your rad's on do you, if so turn them down a degree or two, you will soon get used to it and it will also save you money over the year.

Craigs 9 months in 2 days and i still worry about it. If he doesnt wake at his normal time in the morning you will see me jump out of bed and rush in to see why. If he sleeps for long periods of time during the day(which he does a lot) i keep going in to see if hes still breathing. I think its something thats on every mothers mind.
